Mirka Mora’s Mosaic Map of St Kilda
Circa 1993
At the entrance to the St Kilda Pier, St Kilda.
Renovated in 2011 after a truck accidentally drove over it.
‘Mirka Mora was commissioned to create a mosaic at the end of the pier. It became a ‘kind of map of St Kilda,’ said Mirka, “It was part of the view from my house in Barkly Street through to the sea, past Luna Park, The Palais, the Esplanade Hotel…”’ (Mirka Mora, cited in Peterson)
